My understanding is that Sweden didn't go into lockdown, and has largely done OK.
- lnxg33k1 5y agoI think some of the stuff that happened in Sweden might not be possible to happen everywhere, despite the fact that they had 14k deaths for covid with a population of 10m , Sweden has also a low population density, 25 per Km2, in the US there is a density of 36 per Km2 but if you compare the most dense city in Sweden it's Stockholm and has a density of 367, compare it with NYC with 27k per sqm, I am not sure if that really makes a difference so maybe someone with better understanding of the dynamics could reply
